Cyber criminals continue to take advantage of these new ways of working to disrupt everyday business and steal sensitive information. It's now more important than ever to understand how your business might be vulnerable to cyber crime. In our latest blog post, the National Cyber Security Centre – the UK's lead authority on cyber security and a part of GCHQ – provides guidance on how to protect your business and manage potential risks in a changing digital landscape.  Companies House has introduced a new and improved WebFiling account. Your new WebFiling account includes improved security features and gives you more freedom to self-manage your account.

Through a new government Energy Bill Relief Scheme, the government will provide a discount on wholesale gas and electricity prices for all non-domestic customers (including all UK businesses) whose current gas and electricity prices have been significantly inflated in light of global energy prices. Customers do not need to take action or apply to the scheme to access the support, which will automatically be applied to bills.
